Murder in the Senseless

I saw the face of a young  man, lying in a pool of blood.

They say it was gang violence, I say it was senseless.

I saw the face of a young girl, crying by the fence.

She said she didn’t see a thing, she wants her boyfriend back.

I saw the face of a young boy, riding up on his bike.

Shouting in vain through tear filled eyes, brother please get up.

I saw the face of a mother, running to the scene.

She threw herself upon her son, they had to force her off.

I saw the face of a father, anguish filled his heart.

Mumbling my boy got out, how could it go so wrong?

I saw the face of a young man, lying in a pool of blood.

They say it was gang violence, I say it was senseless.
